Simple Pleasures of Backyard Living

This house situated on a stunning property with lush, mature trees was the perfect property to give the exiting home a facelift. An exterior “Architectural lift” can take you from the past to the future. If you have a property with no terrain, embracing the beauty of terraced landscape design is key. Here we’ve tied the landscape into the architecture for a continuously playful and dynamic effect. Cohesive and thoughtful landscaping flows from the front of the property all the way to the backyard, where a pool and backyard bar await. Backyard bars work if they are functional, well placed, with the best view and simply must be comfortable.

 The front entrance of this home is a true showstopper. If you have a roundabout, get yourself a beautiful fountain. There’s nothing like the sound of the water as you drive up home at night. Not to mention the wraparound porch. The perfect spot for sitting in the late afternoon sun and enjoying a quite cup of coffee.

Rustic beams and a completely new window and door surround applied right onto existing brick is magic when it comes to transforming a home façade. The mix of natural materials is just fantastic. The wood board and batten, the stained Douglas fir, the natural stone make this a country oasis.
